Prof Anderson O. L. Wong is a comparative endocrinologist by training with focus on fish models. His research areas focus on (i) the novel regulators of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis, (ii) signal transduction and autocrine/paracrine control of pituitary hormones, and (iii) functional crosstalk between feeding and pituitary signals in representative species of the carp family. After joining University of Hong Kong, he has obtained ´20 GRF/ CERG, HMRF & NSFC/RGC grants (as PI) and ´2 National 973 Basic Research Programs (as Co-I) and published in a good nunmber of high ranking journals in the field of endocrinology, including Endocrinology, Mol Endocrinology, Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab, J Endocrinology and Mol Cell Endocrinol.
